Proposals for Cap & Trade to reduce Carbon Emmissions get a lot of ink; and of course, they attract a lot of crap from "both sides" - tho' I can't quite firgure out what there is to be choosing sides about. Traditionally, the thing is set up as Jobs vs Scenery - which is stupid. Even if it's possible to separate the Economy from the Environment, it's really not a good idea to try. The whole thing just doesn't work as a zero-sum game. We have to have both in balance. So we need to stop pretending we're smart enough to beat the system.
